I just hope Money actually fights him instead of running from him the whole time but he's smart and probably won't.

Exactly. This is why he's had such a great career.

I highly doubt he fights him straight up. He will do enough to win rounds and if there is an opening, he will take it.
It will probably be a boring fight with both guys dancing around if it gets past 4 rounds.

I took the Mayweather ML, -500 when I got it. I also took him to win by decision, +175 as I can see both guys just doing enough to make it last 12 boring rounds.
I also have him winning in rounds 4-6 (like +450), 7-9 (+350), and 10-12 (+600) just in case it does not go the full 12.

See a TKO in the middle rounds with McGregor's face looking like a tampon pizza.

Is anyone going to stream it? I can't justify dropping 100 pm it and I don't have enough friends who are interested in it. One of the 2 Bw3s I frequent isn't even showing it. That doesn't make sense to me.

I bought it, have 4 guys coming over to watch and split cost.

Bars get charged insane amounts for PPV, so if they don't think people will come and pay cover, it's not worth it for them.

I did not know that. It's basically all people have been talking about around here, so I can't imagine there isn't money to be made, but that's obviously up to the business.

I read online that bars are charged $30 x max occupancy. That isn't that much, especially if they are charging $20 or so to get in anyway. I don't get why more bars don't show it

I hope it's entertaining, but no way was I plunking down $100 to see what I expect it to be.

Bars are charged thousands. And the more TVs they show it on, the more they have to pay.

Wait, so losing $10 per patron isn't a lot? I disagree completely. Sure, people in the door means alcohol sales, but spitting everyone $10 doesn't make for a very profitable night.

Interesting. That would seem to run counter to the logic of a fee based on max occupancy (obviously if I have 500 people I'll have more tv's than if I had 100 people).

$15 or so per person sounds about right, to me. Figure your average $100 PPV subscriber has 6-7 people sharing.

glorified sparring exhibition and nothing more....hardly any combos, hardly any exchanges.....terrible fight, if you can call it that.

McGregor shadow boxes himself out, then Mayweather lands a few punches...and the ref for some reason calls the fight.

Listened to sports talk on the drive home. So many dumbass meatheads. "Floyd carried him! Boxing >MMA!!" Or "Of course Floyd won, there was no kicking, take downs, etc. MMA > Boxing!!"
